The story of a native American woman, college educated, living with her teen daughter Kayah among the whites, homesick for her native life. When she has a vision, which calls her to undertake a difficult and embarrassing ordeal, she finds her and her child's lives turned upside down. To complicate things more, Kahya falls madly for Tim Howard, a native child being raised by fundamentalist white parents! Tim's awakening desire to know his native origins, to become a medicine man, clashes with his parents Christian views quite astoundingly.

When Kaniya tries to help Tim learn more about his birth parents, she uncovers an old evil; adoption fraud or worse, which had been hidden for years. Her snooping almost gets her and Kayah killed! Tim fares little better, finding that when the difficulties and rumors start, the Natives come to his aid, and his church brethren abandon him!

All three natives must confront the hard choices; who will you be? Where is your home? How deeply do you believe? Who will you love? And for Kaniya, the hardest question of all; how will obeying her beliefs, obeying the Hopi creator, bring back the two children she gave away when she was a young and foolish girl? A heart warming , convoluted story of life and love.

A powerful story of finding your true place in life, and understanding not just your own needs, but the Great Spirit's will for your life.
